About this listen

'Forget the years, forget norms, let yourself be stirred by the boundless'

The Zhuangzi—an anthology of anonymous writings produced in China between the fourth and second centuries BC—is one of the world's great literary treasures and the single most important source for early Daoist philosophy. It has exerted a profound influence on Chinese thought, literature, and culture, inspiring philosophy, poetry, idioms, proverbs, and even visual art.

This audio provides a complete English translation of the Zhuangzi with a philosophical focus that guides listeners in understanding and appreciating the text's world of thought. Informed by traditional and recent scholarship, the translation presents the ideas, reasoning, and worldview of the Zhuangzi in smooth, idiomatic English carefully formulated to reflect the phrasing and philosophical nuances of the original Chinese. Providing a lucid, lively translation, this edition is a guidebook into the philosophy of the Zhuangzi.
